"At times were played great asketball, and I think we de- eloped some strong fan inter- st,” Metcalf said. “I was very leased with our attendance and he reactions of our fans.” The Aggies were picked to fin- sh third in the Southwest Con- erence race and wound up tied yith Arkansas for second with a -5 league mark. A&M was 17-9 or the season after winning six f their last seven games and jeating league champ Texas ech in Lubbock. The team set five school rec- irds, and there were several out- itanding individual performances, cilities,"si The team records were for season Koring with 2,162 points for an 13.2 average, 873 field goals for he season, 464 field goals in iWC play, 49 field goals in one ;ame (vs. Arkansas) and 76 re- wunds in one game (vs. Wayland Japtist).

Three weeks ago, entered in the Border Olympics, things look ed as bleak as could be finishing sixth in a 10-team field with 27 points. After a dedicated effort in workouts the following week, A&M scored a big upset in de feating last year’s SWC runner- up Rice and Houston in a tri angular meet held here. On Saturday, both individually and team-wise, A&M did a fan tastic job. Best effort of the day was by Scottie Jones who became the first hurdler in the conference to break the 14-second mark in the 120-yard highs. He was clock ed at 13.9 beating the second- place finisher, TCU’s Gary Pat terson, by five-tenths of a second. Richard McGilvary, A&M fresh man, was third with 14.9. Donny Rogers, first-year com petitor in the long jump, got off his best jump ever at 24-2% to defeat SMU’s top-notch fresh man, Kenny Harrison, who had a 24-1%. High jumper Ben Greathouse won the event with a 6-8 leap de- Over house, Ags During Current Set Marks Campaign game rebound record with 23 against Angelo State. Senior Jeff Overhouse finished high in the rankings for all-time A&M career performances in scoring and rebounding. His three-year figures show 1,162 points (No. 4), and 739 rebounds (No. 2) for the full season, and 662 points (No. 4) and 441 re bounds (No. 2) in SWC play. Overhouse had 253 rebounds this season, and Knowles had 251 to rank seventh and eighth in that category. Knowles scored 452 points to rank eighth in the full season list and had 267 con ference points for sixth place. Sophomore guard Mike Floyd hit all 25 free throw attempts in the Bluebonnet Tournament and had consecutive streaks of 30 and 25 during the season. Overhouse, guard Mario Brown and guard Bob Gobin were the team’s seniors. The returnees in clude Knowles, Floyd, and center Jerry Mercer among the starters. Also returning will be sopho mores Joseph and Webb Williams and juniors Chuck Tone, C. W. Guthrie and Joe Arciniega. Guth rie came down with mononucle osis midway through the season and missed the last 17 games. Knowles led the team in scor ing with a 17.4 average for the full season and a 19.1 norm in league play. Overhouse was sec- cond in both categories with 14.3 and 14.7 averages. Overhouse was the top SWC rebounder with 166 for an 11.9 average, the third highest total in A&M history. Brown averaged 13.4 and 14.6 while Floyd hit for 12.5 and 13.6. Brown, Knowles Picked By Hogs FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.—Doug Collins, an All-America from Illi nois State University, was a unanimous selection to the all opponent team selected by the University of Arkansas basket ball squad. Centenary’s Robert Parish, Wilie Biles of Tulsa, Memphis State’s Larry Kenon and Joe Meriweather of Southern Illi nois also were selected to the unit. Memphis State, the Missouri Valley Conference champions, was voted the outstanding team opponent. Coach L a n n y Van Eman’s squad also selected an All-South west Conference opponent team. SMU’s Ira Terrell and Sammy Hervey, Jerry Ahart of Baylor, Texas Tech’s Richard Little, and Randy Knowles and Mario Brown of Texas A&M were selected to this unit. Knowles and Brown tied for the fifth position. f eating TCU’s Johnny Blakney on fewer misses. The Aggies took all three places in the 880-yard run with senior Willie Blackmon grabbing the gold medal in a time of 1:53.4. Sophomore Horace Grant was second in 1:54.1 and freshman Harold Davis was clocked in 1:54.8. In the sprint relay, A&M ran 41.6 to finish second behind SMU’s 41.5 but tied its best time of the year. The mile relay, how ever, was a different story run ning a lackluster 3:15.3 finishing behind TCU’s 3:14.0. SMU did not compete in the final event. A&M’s best mark this year, set last week, is 3:14.1. Another surprise occurred in the 440-yard intermediate hur dles when the Aggies again took all three places. David Morris won the event with a 55.0 fol lowed by McGilvary in 55.3 and Wayne Mills with a 57.0. Mills was far below his best having clocked a 54.3 the previous week. Sore spot for A&M was in the sprints as no points were scored in either race. SMU’s Gene Pouncy won the century with a 9.5 followed by Ronald Shaw of TCU in 9.6 and Joe Pouncy with a 9.6. SMU also swept the 220-yard dash with Joe Pouncy in at 21.4, Rufus Shaw with 21.5 and Gene Pouncy clocked at 21.9. Freshman Craig Carter fin ished second in the shot put with a heave of 51-6. SMU’s Sammy Walker won the event with a 60-7% toss. David Peterek took the pole vault with 15-0 and Harold Mc Mahan was second with a 14-6. Freshman Bill Newton finished third in the javelin with a 210-1 throw. SMU’s Brad Morgan and Paul Derwin were one-two with heaves of 213-5 and 212-5, re spectively. A&M will return to the track at Kyle Field this Saturday when they compete in the second an- naly College Station Relays against Baylor, SMU, TCU, ACC and South Carolina.
